Rakuten, the online platform that provides online shoppers with cash back and discounts, is hosting its biggest sale of the year from May 8-15, Big Give Week.
Cash back at select retailers will be as high as 15%, and the week will be full of the highest cash back offers and discounts.
“While we are approaching the highly anticipated summer season, inflation and a potential recession are still in the back of consumers’ minds so shoppers are preparing with an eye for savings,” said Kristen Gall, Rakuten's president. “That’s where Give Big Week comes in. It’s a chance to reward loyal Rakuten members with the greatest savings and rewards that we offer each year so they can get everything they need to prepare for the best summer ever.”

Some of the stores and brands that are involved in Big Give Week include:

A higher referral bonus
For Big Give Week, Rakuten will also offer members its highest premium on referrals. Typically, Rakuten members receive $30 when they refer a friend or family member to the site.
However, for this week, Rakuten has upped the referral bonus to $40. When a new member is referred, they need to spend $40 by May 15, and they – and whoever referred them – will receive $40 from Rakuten.
Another bonus of the sale week is exclusive access to Live Nation’s Concert Week on May 9. In addition to $25 off their ticket purchase, Rakuten members will get to purchase tickets to over 3,800 shows 24 hours before they go on sale to the public.
Consumers can join Rakuten for free and start earning cash back and exclusive discounts at any of the 3,500 participating stores.
